Chapter 132

On September 2016, 9, when the special plane chartered by Liverpool landed in Moscow, when Mo Yang and the others got off the plane, they were instantly shivering collectively.

On the way to the hotel, Klopp kept frowning.

He had a hunch that this game would be very, very difficult.

Before coming, their coaching staff had prepared in every way, especially the research on climate.

I originally thought that Moscow hadn’t entered winter in September, and the temperature difference from Liverpool was not that big, so it wasn’t a big problem.

But I never expected that just last night, the temperature in Moscow dropped sharply, and there was a continuous drizzle.

Now Moscow is wet and cold, it is estimated that it is only 4-5 degrees.

For Liverpool, who were playing away, it was a sudden catastrophe. The players did not have time to adapt to the weather.

Moreover, this kind of wet and cold weather has a huge impact on the competitive state of the players, and it will increase the risk of accidental injuries.

On the 28th, at 9 pm local time, half an hour before the start of the game.

Mo Yang and the others set foot on the CSKA Arena to start warming up, and were immediately booed by the home fans.

Fortunately, this stadium can only accommodate 30000 people, which did not put too much pressure on Moyang and the others.

If it is the kind of big stadium with 7 to 8 people, the cheers and boos of the home fans will definitely bring the mental pressure on the visiting team to a nightmare level.

At 9:45, the game started under the hooting of the home fans.

"Welcome to the UEFA Champions League group match brought to you by LeTV Sports, CSKA Moscow vs Liverpool in Group E!"

"Zhang Zhi, what do you think of this game!"

"hey-hey!".
Zhang Lu smiled when she heard the words, "Liverpool will probably be difficult to play in this game. CSKA is also a giant in the Russian Super League. In the past three or four years, they have won the Russian Super League almost every year and are regulars in the Champions League, so they have very rich experience in major competitions."

"As for Liverpool, look at how many old players there are. Veterans like Sturridge and Leiva are still sitting on the bench."

"So from all perspectives, it is estimated that this game will be very difficult for Liverpool. Let's see if Moyang and the others can overcome the disadvantage of the away game!"

Zhang Lu analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of the two teams, and the situation on the court changed dramatically!

Arnold's ribs were inserted into the attack, and after receiving the ball from Henderson, his feet suddenly slipped.

The ball was picked up by the army's left back Shenikov in an instant, and it was a long pass directly to the forward midfielder Milanov.

An accident created a transposition of offense and defense!

At this time, the home fans also kept 'Ula', cheering for their team.

Fortunately, in Liverpool's attack this time, Matip and Lovren did not press too far forward and returned to the defense in time.

But Matip and the others never expected that this CSKA player would be so straightforward, and he made a 45-degree pass as soon as he ran to the side.

Go straight for Rachina Traore, the striker they've already charged into the box.

This CSKA striker is two meters tall and has an extremely strong body.

Seeing that Lovren couldn't move this guy, Matip immediately moved over to help.

But still to no avail, this guy jumped up and successfully hit the ball.

Fortunately, Liverpool was lucky. The ball was deflected by Traore, and it slipped out of the baseline against the post, allowing Liverpool to escape.

Then there was a weird scene. As long as Liverpool attacked the CSKA half-court, their feet would slip from time to time.

When Mo Yang saw it, he frowned directly. He found that it seemed to be a problem with the lawn.

Taking advantage of a dead ball, Mo Yang came to the center line and began to carefully observe the two halves, and then Mo Yang found that the two halves that were still the same during the warm-up had turned into a Yin-Yang field.

CSKA's side is wet and slippery, but their side is extremely dry!

"Captain! They tampered with the court, it's too shameless!" Mo Yang looked very angry!
After being told by Mo Yangyi, Henderson also came to the center line to take a look, and then frowned with disgust.

"Yang! Don't worry too much, just pay more attention to your feet!" Henderson patted Mo Yang on the shoulder, and his face was a little ugly.

In fact, this is a very common phenomenon in football, just some small means at home.

In a top event like the Champions League, every organizer will use all kinds of small means to interfere with the game state of the visiting team.

It is relatively light to use floor heating to create a yin and yang field like this.

Henderson has seen more shameless ones. He would spray more water on his own half of the field during the intermission, so that the field was full of water, so as to affect the attack of the visiting team.

On the sidelines, Klopp also discovered this situation, and was so angry that he went directly to the fourth official on the sidelines to complain.

As a result, he was dismissed with a sentence that the floor heating equipment was faulty. After pestering for a while, he almost didn't get sent off with a red card.

On the field, after Salah and the others discovered that there was a problem with the field, they didn't dare to run with all their strength.

This kind of slippery lawn can cause injury if you don't pay attention to it.

If you are unlucky and you strain your leg muscles, you will be out for a month or two.

This also caused Liverpool's offensive speed to fail.

And Mo Yang didn't dare to speed up forcibly at the risk of injuring his teammates, so he had to slow down the pace of the game.

On the CSKA side, with the support of the home fans, they played more and more fiercely, and their physical advantage in fighting was extremely obvious.

As long as he takes the ball, he will quickly advance through the two sides and hit the ribs to cooperate.

If it is a cross, sometimes it will suddenly hit the middle to infiltrate and cooperate. The multi-point offensive method makes Liverpool very embarrassed to defend.

At 18 minutes into the game, Mo Yang saw an offensive opportunity, he was not willing to give up, and instantly accelerated Liverpool's offensive rhythm.

A straight kick directly penetrated CSKA's defense line, and the ball rolled from the middle to the left.

Mane forcibly squeezed away CSKA's midfielder Wien Bloom on the wing.

But he still couldn't catch the ball and rolled straight out of the sideline.

Mo Yang frowned. Neither he nor Mane was responsible for the ball. The field was too slippery. If it was a normal lawn, Mane would definitely be able to catch up.

The advance of Moyang's pass was completely based on Mane's speed, but he didn't realize that there was a problem with the grass after the pass.

So in the next game, Liverpool played more and more difficult.

It was a long journey away to play, the players themselves were a little tired, and affected by the bad weather, they were not in the best condition, and now facing the interference of these small means, playing is even more uncomfortable.

Fortunately, Liverpool did not continue to favor!
In the 34th minute of the game, Moyang received a pass from Coutinho who retreated at the top of the arc. Seeing that the defensive players in the CSKA penalty area were not in a dense position, he directly wanted to take a long shot.

But as soon as he lifted his right foot, his left foot slipped, lost his balance, and slipped again because of the lawn.

The ball was taken away by Eremenko who came out of the penalty area, and he kicked it straight to the right.

CSKA's right midfielder Tosic dribbled the ball in front of Liverpool's goal, and suddenly slowed down.

This also made Lovren make a wrong judgment. He thought this guy was going to pass the ball, so Lovren didn't rush up immediately, gave Tosic enough time to adjust, and then kicked the upper left corner of the goal.

Although Karius reacted quickly enough, the angle of the ball was too tricky, he couldn't reach it at all, and could only watch the ball go into the goal.

The birth of this goal completely broke the deadlocked game situation.

After the second half began, the rain became heavier and heavier, and the temperature continued to drop after nightfall.

CSKA Moscow is nothing, they have long been used to their own venue and their own weather!
But Liverpool can't do it, it's getting more and more uncomfortable!

Everyone was drenched by the rain, alternating hot and cold, and a gust of cold wind hit, the sour feeling was simply a kind of torture.

Gradually, the status of all Liverpool members disappeared, including Mo Yang!
In the end, the aggrieved Liverpool ushered in their first European defeat with a score of 0-1.

The results of the match in the same group also came out, Monaco and Bundesliga powerhouse Bayer Leverkusen tied 1-1.

In this way, Liverpool will be uncomfortable. With 1 point, they will be the last place in the group, and the situation of qualifying is not optimistic.
